Auto Embed Twitter Links into WordPress Posts

• Tweet
• Pin It

You know I am a big fan of WordPress CMS and I was amazed to see the new WordPress updates to include an auto embed Twitter links feature that is just too cool not to mention. What else will they include?

Building a WordPress website is just getting easier and easier with each new update. We are now needing both minimal knowledge and a reduced number of plugins to get a fully functional professional looking website.

So here it is…

I went to Twitter and grabbed the url to one of my tweets and simply pasted it into my post and this is what I ended up with.

How to Find The URL of a Tweet?

1. Go to Twitter and when you see a Tweet you like simply click on it.

2. The Tweet will expand and you will then see a Details link. Click on that.

3. You will be taken to the next page where the tweet will be showing.

4. Now you can go to the internet browser address bar, select it by making it blue.

5.  Right click on it and from the menu choose copy.

See the screenshot below.

My Twitter Link Will Not Work?

Here are some troubleshooting tips if your Twitter link does not appear like mine has above.

1. Paste the link into the html section in your WordPress post as you do not want it to become a link.
2. Make sure the link is on its own line and not active.
3. Make sure you have copied the Twitter URL correctly.

That’s about it. You link should work fine now.

What Else Can you Auto Embed into WordPress?

WordPress has added an entire list of embeds. But obviously the main one I noticed was how easy it is to embed a Youtube video. All you have to do is add the link, not active, into the html section of your post and on its own line. (You can paste it into the visual section if it is not active)

Well this is another very handy feature for a WordPress website. Embedding a Youtube video into your posts could not be any easier!

   Thanks Mitz,
   The above information is really impressive. I was not familiar with this feature of word press. The procedure is also very easy to understand.

     I read your post about google hitting your site.. I do not think that will last long. Your site is too good to do that. I have been through this many times and sometimes you just need to ride the waves,

   I had no idea you could do that, I was using iFrames and HTML code to embed all those things and all I had to do was just paste the URL? I feel so stupid now!

   Thanks for the info!

    Alternatively, after point no. 2, you can simply right click on the link that says Details, and click on the ‘Copy link address’ option from the submenu (if you’re using Google Chrome), and then proceed the paste the link in your write-up like usual. Cheers!
